School’s in for Summer

Well after the last couple of experiences, we’re not going to let another tip slip through our stubby, Kool-Aid stained fingers again. Especially since we’re going on vacation next week, hooray! Don’t even bother sending us crap after, say, Thursday.

This has got to be one of the fanciest press releases we’ve ever seen, for something that starts out with a location billed as “Somewherein, Texas.” We suppose if we were starting a “School of Wizardry” in the great state of Texas, we’d probably want to keep the actual location secret as well. Anyway, it was delivered via plain old USPS but contained in their nondescript packaging was a large envelope with a hoity-toity wax seal. Did someone say “fancy?”

SOMEWHEREIN, TEXAS–The Second Day of May, 2008–Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, The nation’s first fully accredited school of wizardry, will soon open its doors to aspiring students of magic.

Ravenwood will offer comprehensive coursework covering the entire spectrum of the magical arts, including instruction in each of the seven schools of magic: Fire, Ice, Storms, Myth, Life, Death and Balance.

Ravenwood School of Magical Arts will begin accepting applications soon for its inaugural term. Applicants will be chosen based on their work ethic, potential, and general magical aptitude.

Did we ever mention that our own magical studies never extended beyond Fire, Storms, and Death? Those three disciplines were all that was required for us to reconstruct the long-lost formula for the mythical Fart of Doom. You down with SBD?

Full press release after the jump.
